The first step on my journey of growth and healing was here on my mat, starting to turn inward. It's one of the places I feel most comfortable, yet sometimes very uncomfortable. .
I learn a lot of life lessons there. Concentration, focus, to breathe, to be present, flexible, strong, and at ease. To pause between a stimulus and my reaction to it. To begin to slow down..to find my true self that has always been there, but clouded and confused with illusions. And of course.. balance ⚖️ .
We always hear how life is about balance right ? What about the concept of counter balance. A weight balancing another weight. Shifting weight of one part of life to allow space and strength to another part. Where can you start to incorporate this concept of counter balance? .
This posture is impossible without counterbalance, shifting some weight in the opposite direction I plan on going...to create space for where I need to go. Hmm there's a much deeper lesson here 🤔 .

38 years ago today, on January 21st 1981, the first - or second, if you count the one that crashed - DeLorean rolled off the production line to meet the press. Although late by the timetable John DeLorean had set, the period in which the car developed from a concept demonstrator to fully productionised car was astonishingly small. It was a fraction of the time that BMW and Porsche had suggested it would take; this was largely down to @lotuscars_ ingenious production methods, and the hard work of engineers like Colin Spooner. An equally impressive feat was the construction of the state of the art factory in Dunmurry, staffed by an incredibly eager workforce. •
Anyone who’s driven one of those early 500-series cars will tell you that they’re not the best put together. Indeed, DMC had to spend a significant sum of money reworking some of these cars upon arrival in the US to make them of retail-level quality, especially given the increased price the car gained in development. The problems of these early cars haunted the DMC12, giving it the bad rep it still has today. The company may not have survived had it not made the decision to sell these early cars; however releasing them to the public may not have helped the long-term prospects in the end. •
As was so often the case in this story, the John DeLorean way may not have been the right way, but it was certainly impressive. •
